gurnam: You obviously epitomize the 2nd public accusation. You are the defintion of bigotry.

To you...no Igbo can ever do wrong..while all other people can never do right.

You are a disgrace to old-age.

I say without equivocation that your stream of thought is humanly despicable. Nigerians need to disperse a walking carcass such as you in order to make room for articulate young Nigerians. It will amount to idiocy to ask you if you comprehended the two forms of corruption the goofy author advanced in his/her silly drivels. Wild insinuations are the delights of basement fools such as you. You are as good as dead, olodo.

Is Nigeria inhabited by wild human beings? Where in the world politicians are not allowed to come with pointers during debate? In the famed USA, all candidates of elective offices come to debate forum with prepared pointers.

Nigerians need re-orientation.

berem: because he has absolutely nothing to say. He and his likes believes throwing insults means making a point. Don't be surprised.

Berem, you have totally lost the handle. The reason is because I have zero tolerance for stupidity. Even the people I source my business readily realize there is no room for blunder.

I am not totally surprised you joined the hoards of goons to castigate Obiano for showing restraints on a subject matter that requires a visit to Nigerian constitution. No wonder when a person asks a Nigerian to tell a little bit about Nigeria, the dumbasses usually start with “Nigeria has crude oil”.

This is one of the reasons I had wanted Nigeria to disintegrate. I am tired and sick of being a compatriot to the multitude of basement scallywags that do not the meaning of corruption. It would be nice for a section of the former Nigeria to embrace and enjoy a moment like Justus Nwaoga while other sections continue to arrogate err of relevancy to themselves.

berem: He has proven his Igboness uncountable times on this forum. What more do you want from him? He doesn't have to be a Pro-Jonathanian or an APGA buttlicker to prove he is Igbo. Allow him and other Igbo APC supporters to air their views without intimidation.

Berem, please do not tempt me.

gleaf: Another desperate move! He clearely stated that he is not in the best position to comment on the issue and Not that he does not know what immunity clause is.......like I said voting will be done in ANambra and not nairaland.

Bros now I know why the basement fools are controlling the destinies of most Nigerians. The man gave a correct and intelligent answer to a question the poser does not even fully understood yet these intellectual midgets have the effrontery to insult Obiano on Nairaland.

No wonder mere coughing appears to these dingbats as corruption.

@ Mr. Aboki

It is because of products such as you that I have pleaded with Nigerian government not to extend a counterfeited Kobo to ASUU. My grandfather told me that “good product sells itself”.

wirinet: Since you people are staunch supporters of Oduah because she is igbo, can you please help us ask her where the cars are parked. The two tokunbo BMW presented to the national assembly members were definitely not the american made armoured grade B7 BMW cars that cost $800,000 that we have been screaming about.

So find out for us where the cars are, if the cars exists at all.

A basement dunce such as you should also inquire from Stella Oduah where all the push trucks, van, and food trucks purchased by NCAA for ministry of aviation parked, olodo.

esere826: I'll summarise Akin's theory in the next post.

Between Oduah and Ekeh By Akin Osuntokun,
http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/between-oduah-and-ekeh/163187/



I often write in fear of not being accessible and widely understood and it is with the hangover of this apprehension that I approach today’s subject matter. It has to do with the daunting task of mediating between a distinguished political science professor, Peter Ekeh, and the Nigeria public. Ekeh is a towering intellectual but he is little known outside the environment of the ivory tower although I’m told that he has of late rediscovered his roots and has gone so far as becoming the President of the Urhobo Peoples Union.

Almost 40 years ago, he wrote a paper titled “Colonialism and the two publics of Africa-A theoretical statement”. It was a masterpiece and was published in the journal of Comparative Studies in Society and History. I encourage those who have the leisure and inclination to search for it and I would be ever so willing to lend a helping hand. Ordinarily it is a work meant for the hallowed precincts of the academia but its applicability to the ongoing crisis swirling around the Minister of Aviation, Miss Stella Oduah, is so compelling that I have decided to err on the side of drawing the attention of the Nigeria public to it.

This choice will require of me a higher degree of labour in carrying my audience along; moving from theory to praxis. By the way, praxis means adaptation of theory to reality. I will similarly crave the indulgence of Professor Ekeh for any error of omission or commission in the course of introducing and adapting his theory for the appreciation of the general reader.
By nature, I do not like to offend the sensibilities of people and aggregation of peoples especially those that I’m acquainted with; but I’m also a curious person who speculates a lot and follows his reasoning and reflection wherever it leads. Besides I have this dilemma of being a member of the political elite — the very class of people who substantially invites the scrutiny and criticism of public intellectuals. And by reason of this affiliation I have many of them as personal friends and associates. I also don’t like piling on offenders and therefore abstain as much as possible from kicking functionaries who has or is receiving bashing from all and sundry.

In anguish I sought the perspective of my editor on how to handle this troubling conflict of interest. She enjoined me to learn to live with this reality if I ever want to continue with my vocation of writing. And it is with this reluctance that I presume to judge the stewardship of Miss Oduah as Minister of Aviation; and even at that, I’m enlisting her not in her own right but as a variable whose misconduct conspicuously lends itself to the applicability of one of the most original and insightful theory of African politics.
I feel highly embarrassed at the grossness of her behaviour not the least on account of impacting so negatively on her principal — who honestly deserves a break from relentless savage critique in the media and interpersonal assemblies. May God save us from friends and the company we keep; I will now quote in-extenso the characterisation of corruption in Africa by Professor Ekeh.

‘There are two forms of corruption that are associated with the two publics-the civic (read the government and the state) and the primordial (read ethnic affiliation). The first is what is regarded as embezzlement of funds from the civic public, from the government, to be more specific. The second is the solicitation and acceptance of bribes from individuals seeking services provided by the civic public (the government), by those who administer these services. Both carry little moral sanction and may well receive great moral approbation from members of one’s primordial public (read ethnic affiliation). But contrariwise, these forms of corruption are completely absent in the primordial public. Strange is the Nigerian who engages in embezzlement in the performance of his duties to his primordial public-town union. To put your fingers in the till of the government will not unduly burden your conscience and people may well think you are a smart fellow and envy you your opportunities. To steal the funds of the (ethnic) union would offend the public conscience and ostracise you from society’.

Ekeh writes with so much clarity and lucidity that I really do not think he needs an interlocutor but I shall offer one here — as it applies to Ms Oduah. I will do this by typifying what he means by the two publics. The civic public here is represented by the Ministry of Aviation and the primordial public is identified as the Igbo ethnic nationality. The attitude of the Igbo in general and specific terms is not to condemn the behaviour of the minister but to defend and rationalise her misconduct. The extreme manifestatiom of this attitude was to threaten that the Igbo will not vote for President Goodluck Jonathan in the next general election, if he dares sanction Oduah.

Otherwise profound writers have laboured to disguise the severity of her offence by dressing it in the garb of generalisation, by advancing the argument that there are legion of precedents which were not reproved and sanctioned. Biblically minded observers will call this a case of following the multitude to commit evil. Soon after the scandal became the staple of public outrage, Dangiwa Umar pointed my attention to the folly of a writer ‘See the backpage of the Daily Trust. See how irrational even a Phd holder appears when he attempts to defend the indefensible. Clearly a case of ethnic solidarity, how can we create a nation out of this geographical expression — as Pa Awo would call it’.

The theory of the two publics is validated by its general applicability to those societies which constitute the independent variable severally and collectively. The Igbos are right in their summative argument — that the offence of the minister in question is the rule rather than the exception; and that any sanction against her would amount to unique victimisation, the exception and not the rule. To buttress the truism of this rationalisation I will mention other typical instances.

The late Chief Sunday Afolabi, may his soul rest in peace, in his capacity then as Minister of Internal Affairs, admonished another deceased fellow minister, Chief Bola Ige (of illustrious memory) not to rock the boat of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) government to which he was called from the Alliance for Democracy (AD), to ‘come and eat’. One of the more creative recent turn of phrase reduced the phenomenon to the christening of ‘Turn by Turn Nigeria Limited’. Ahmadu Kurfi was more direct and matter of factly in his depiction ‘this arrangement provides opportunity for various groups in the exercise of real power in the governance of the country, unlike the present dispensation whereby the vice-president/deputy governor has little or no power: and act as a “spare tire” for his boss and can hardly dish out patronage for the people he represents in government’.

The twilight of the first republic was replete with stories of competition for the largese accruable from alliance with the party in control at the centre. The culture of quota and federal character became institutionalised in the mid-70s but it has deep roots in the crass nepotism that defined the latter days of the first republic. The less than meritorous appointments of vice-chancellors to the federal government-owned universities was cited as a unique manifestation of this culture.

The Premiership of Chief S L Akintola became the avenging angel for the Western Region when he reoriented the region from opposition politics to a happy union with the Tafawa Balewa-led federal government. This pratice was echoed in the appointment of General Shehu Yar’Adua who was skyrocketed in rank over his seniors to become the deputy to General Olusegun Obasanjo in his capacity as Military Head of State in 1975. The lucky towns and villages of high ranking government officials usually attract lopsided development infrastructural facilities and were conferred with the status of destination of choice for the location of institutions especially tertiary institutions.

The citation of certain offices as ‘lucrative and juicy’ has gradually become accepted as the idiom of appointments to choice offices and posts — often inciting fierce struggles among contending ethnic groups. To be found in this charmed circle are the minitries of works and the FCT; comptroller-general of the Department of Customs and Excise, the chief executives of Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), and the Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF); and the Central Bank of Nigeria — to mention a few.

We equally hear of a number of offices, ministries and government agencies warehoused as the exclusive preserve of sections of Nigeria. There is a Yoruba adage that rationalises abuse of office for personal gain as ‘when you are given a hoe to till the ground, hoeing to yourself takes precedence over any other direction’. The theory espoused by Ekeh cannot by any stretch of the imagination, be interpreted as tolerance for the penchant of personalities like Ms Oduah, it only seeks to explain the typicality of her impunity and imprudence.

Her extenuation inheres in the generalised syndrome of corruption and abuse of office in African societies. In the manifestation of this syndrome what is criminal behaviour in public offices regularly gets rewarded at the primordial level. And the larger the capacity of individudals to misappropriate pubic offices and resources for personal benefit and the benefit of her kith and kin, the more prestigious the honour and chieftancy titles reserved for the perpetrator of the act of felony.

It is apt that to bring this exposition to an end by giving the honour to whom it is due. Professor Ekeh concludes as follows; ‘if we are to capture the spirit of African politics, we must seek what is unique to them. Our problems are maybe understood, hopefully solved, by the realisation that the civic public and the primordial public are rivals; that in fact the civic public is starved of badly needed morality. Any politics without morality is destructive. And the destructive results of African politics owes something to the amorality of the civic public’ — the state.

It is unfortunate most Nigerians are beclouded by the intensity of tribal bigotry. When I saw this article, it almost reminded me there could be a Nigerian who really knew the meaning of corruption. However, it did not take long into the article to realize tribal bias is an inherent trait among the writer’s ethnicity.

Initially, the writer waved two forms of corruption, thus, bribery and embezzlement. I had relaxed and hoped the writer will explain how the procurement of two BMW cars by NCAA for ministry of aviation would take him into conclusion that Stella Oduah was a corrupt official based on the two forms of corruption the writer has earlier elucidated. Instead the writer in Akin Osuntokun could not overcome the undue pressure of ethnic bigotry, he jumped onto mambo-jumbos and jargons such as “civic (read the government and the state) and the primordial (read ethnic affiliation)”.

It baffles me how a writer could fill a page or two with initial theme of bribery and embezzlement as two forms of corruption and yet could not link Stella Oduah to either of them based on the tribally wiped up allegations of corruption by certain ethnicity in Nigeria. Yet the Yoruba writer in Akin Osuntokun did not only condemned Stella Oduah but also castigated the Stella’s ethnicity that found the bases of allegation against Stella as tribally motivated and baseless.

There is no doubt Akin Osuntokun might know the denotations of bribery and embezzlement as two forms of corruption but seriously doubted if the numbskull really sought to answer the following questions:

Did Stella Oduah offer, give, receive or solicit any item of value to influence the actions of NCAA, Ministry of Aviation and Coscharis Motors Ltd? Did Stella Oduah dishonestly withhold asset for the purpose of conversion for private and personal usage?

I have no doubt the set skills of the presumed intellect which Akin Osuntokun indulged to write the above garbage is questionable because I did not the make out the ability of Akin Osuntokun to engage in sound rationalization and failed to find the tendency on Stella Oduah to usually do the bad things as Akin Osuntokun had suggested .

I am completely dumbfounded to hear that ministry of aviation in Nigeria does not keep fleets of jets.

Katsumoto: Please go and have your snuff.

You can't read

You can't analyse issues properly

You can't comprehend

All you can do is to pontificate and obfuscate aimlessly.

Let me give you an explanation for a 7 year old

Your boss gave you 240N to buy bicycles. You spent 650N and entered into a loan with a money lender which will result in your boss paying 600N to repay 650N. The money lender and bicycle seller are your friends. So you cheat your boss out of 1,000N so that you and your friends can make a huge buck.

There is fraud, corruption, and misappropriation of funds in this case.

The above conjecture is absolutely idiotic without reservations. I asked for definition of corruption and you could only come up with silly insinuations of roaster and bull fairy story. I guess you have lost handle on your daily schizophrenic pills.

[quote author=madam_oringo]So you pointed out one Ibo group that chastised Odulah?? First, tell everyone YOUR OWN OPINION from the FACTS made available after the hearing so far? I hope you won't come back and say you are still waiting for evidence or some other facts because even now, every tuber of yam that has heard what is up with your Odulah already knows the truth but I will let you spill your guts first. In any case, an Ibo group that amount to only 0.001% of ibos out of 99.999 is a ridiculous minority and the character of Ibos is more completely and adequately represented by the huge majority who have supported Odulah so far. So do you still need some more evidence from Jupiter??[/quote]Thieves tend to readily accuse other people of thievery. Could you studiously supply the definition of corruption and relate it the procurement of two BMR cars by NCAA for ministry of aviation?

Katsumoto: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

When all else fails, blame others for your problems/self-inflicted wounds.



The brother of a thief is a thief.

Catcham, catcham, thief thief thief

Catcham, catcham, robber robber robber

Catcham, catcham, rogue rogue rogue

If one wrongly accuses a person of thievery, the accuser is the really thief. I have repeatedly asked loudmouthed bigots to give me the definition of corruption as it related to NCAA procurement of two BMW cars.

nameo: So? FAAN bought 205 cars for Staff and operation including 4 armored cars, Whilst Lagos State Government bought 300 cars for just National Sports Festival!! Same would be obtained anywhere you look. Same WASTE everywhere. The question is why should all the attention be on the Aviation Ministry alone? What is driving this desperate focus on one Ministry?

Stella Oduah has killed certain peoples’ golden goose.

Katsumoto: 'Nkemakolam said we interpreted the directive to mean to go through it in line with the procurement Act. He said they did the due diligence but they had a mindset that they were within the budget limit.
But he was asked why he didn’t do due diligence to ensure that it was in tandem with the procurement law, he said he thought since the agency had got the approval of the National Assembly there was no need for such diligence.
He was asked why he initiated a memo to approve 54 vehicles when what the National assembly approved was 25 vehicles.

He was reminded that what was approved was N240million and not N643million.

NCAA was asked whether the board sought approval of the president to approve the car loan. Nkemakolam said he was working on the mindset that they were still within the approved limit'

https://www.nairaland.com/1499910/oduah-n255m-cars-not-bought

The NASS has already stated it approved budget for 25 cars which the two BMW cars were not included. I guess this is an itemized case if the NASS also specified the type of cars NCAA should buy. However, ministry of aviation also has a approved budget of N4.5b for NCAA fleet maintenance.

Katsumoto: This is rather shameful.

Can't you read? Please change your glasses if the present ones are failing. NASS approved 240M but FCAA spent 650M. The two cars for Oduah alone were more than the entire approved budget.

You must be a joker if you think the approved budget for NCAA in 2013 was N240M.

Katsumoto: I suspect Oduah must be your daughter or niece going by the number of Oduah threads you have visited since the scandal broke.

Can you please educate us on how Falana benefitted from FFK's tenure as Aviation minister? Hopefully it is not something you made up.

It is not humanly possible that Stella Oduah is my daughter. However, stella Oduah could pass as my niece if it makes you happy.

KenGali: For claiming the price of the vehicles were inflated, I think Falana is a Liar. That is a new height for him, making unverified statements for mob action. Unbecoming of a lawyer.
Last I checked,
He does not transact in cars
Nor does he manufacture anyone.
Nor is he a procurement expert.

The only issue here is that it seems NCAA did not follow their Budget as they claimed. This has nothing to do with the Minister of Avaition.

NCAA followed the budget. Remember the most parts or all the parts of the budget might not be itemized. There is a delegate budget modification and 10% budget rule. Also, there is a provision of N4.5b in the NCAA‘s fleet maintenance.

hercules07: Let me tell you something about how Ubani became the chairman of that branch, he contested for that post, he won, but, some entrenched interests said they will not allow him, Ikeja branch of the NBA is perhaps the most glamorous of them all, the entrenched interests were not ready for an "Igbo" man to be the chairman of the Ikeja branch of NBA, guess those who made sure he won. Barrister Ubani is a very very straight forward individual, I do not agree with some of his views (especially with respect to Sanusi), but, you know that he is simply fighting for the common man, he is a far better Igbo than some people on this forum can ever aspire to.

I do not give a fig about who elected the scumbag-Monday Onyekachi Ubani to the chair of NBA, Lagos State branch. He will very much look like the people that elected him, dumbasses. Where was ninny’s spirit fighting for the common man when a certain state government deported fellow Nigerians? Well a lawyer, quirk for that matter, who does not understand the meaning of the word-corruption, can hardly understand the complex nature of inalienable rights of individuals.

Anyway, a jackass called Monday Onyekachi Ubani culd the best Igbo man to you, he is simply a basement efulefu to majority of Igbo folks.
.

@Femi Falana

Mr Femi Falana (SAN) is among the people that benefited from publicly acclaimed corruptive practices of Femi Fani-Kayode when the later was minister of aviation. I guess every goat in Nigeria can claim to be SAN.

Is it not the height of idiocy and hypocrisy that dimwit such as Falana calls for EFCC to investigate Stella Oduah while keeping mute on the public claims by Femi Fani-Kayode that he (kayoed) was involved in three forms of corruptions as a minister of aviation?

Falana said: “There is inflation in price (of the cars), contrary to the market price. That is another offence. Of course, the provisions of the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) were also violated, because there was no due process. There must be due process under any situation”.

How many cars bought by both the state and federal governments could Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) provide evidence it processed if scrutinized?

gurnam: As usual..you have gone on your usual meaningless verbiage that sometimes make you look like a sadist.

At you age...you've not been able to determine if you are a Nigerian or a Biafran...even though you show up with the green passport at Int airports abroad....how more confused a person can be.

Dede....it sulks to be you for real...

I have already determined that I am not a Nigerian. Who told a bloody wastepipe such as you that I have any use for the so-called “green passport”? You are very heartless to have expected me to travel with the crap called Nigerian passport. The types of insults people that travel with Nigerian passport receive while on transit are pitiful. Nigeria is a joke. It is a place where an attorney does not know the meaning of corruption.

I guess you are on the usual wild goose chase. At least, you seemed to be better than the dumbass called Onyekachi Ubani who went video with idiocy. It sucks to be a Nigerian.

nameo: This is a report from Thisday Newspapers quoting and using Documents obtained from a US State public record, my brother.

This is as solid as they come

Few people that have the privilege to know about such information already informed number of dead woods on this forum that Ngige is as corrupt as police officers on Nigerian roads.

gurnam: Old man....

Ubani is more Ibo than you.

You are part of the problem Nigerians will be better to do away with if we genuinely desire progress and cohesion of the various ethnic nationalities..

You are a bad influence on young impressionable Ibos in this community.

If you dare insult me in your legendary manner...I will give it back to you in many folds.

It would have been nice and intelligent if moronic douche bag such as you wrote the word-Igbo correctly talk less of knowing who among us is much of Igbo. I can understand your readiness to defend a fellow jackass such as Monday Onyekachi Ubani who would rather die if given the task to define corruption.

I do not give a hoot about Nigeria’s development which will never materialize because it has stiffs such as you and Monday Onyekachi Uba as compatriots.

payless: Then what is the difference between the Hausas and Igbos when it comes to political tolerance? They both seem to act violently against anyone who has contrary political views. Why would anyone beats up someone for saying "who is Jonathan"?

I guess the infamous “operation watie” in Nigeria originated from eastern region.

azeezhy: Yeah he is in the land of homo mumulus igboids.
Yeah he is very popular in the land where hairy chested men dont know the difference between left and right.
He is popular in the land of the slaves... You know what they say... In the land of the blind, a one eyed man is usually the king.

Before I tell how silly a jackass such as you was, I had liked to know your ethnicity if you are not ashamed by it.

Jerry Manwe (Member) to minister: If the

Manwe; Thank you. But the law of the

I have said it and will continue to say that Nigeria is filled to the brink with fools. Where did Nigerian constitution forbid anybody from the use of armored car as insinuated by Jerry Manwe of Taraba state?

Only a fool can rule fools in a glorified jungle called Nigeria.

Jbluv55: Chairman of Ikeja chapter of the Nigerian Bar
Association (NBA), Barr. Monday Onyekachi Ubani has said the Aviation Minister who is
currently embroiled in N255m armored BMW car scandal deserves not only to be relieved of her job but also to be prosecuted. The lawyer said, given the loads of evidences, the circumstance of initiation of the scandalous purchase, non-budgetary approval of purchase and inflation of cost, Mrs. Stella Oduah should go to jail for it.
He also flayed the intimacy President Jonathan shares with the embattled minister during this controversial time to the extent of traveling to Israel during the time she should be facing trial. Mr. Ubani said it points to the Government’s tolerance of corruption, adding that the setting up of administrative panel for such criminal act is but an attempt to shield the minister. -SaharaTV

Lawyers such as dimwits in the mold of Monday Onyekachi Ubani and Baba Fashola have made me to stop using the services of Nigerian lawyers. I can make bold to say the certificate granted to this moronic Monday Onyekachi Ubani should be investigated. How come this village fool not understand there is nothing scandalous about the purchase of two BMW cars except the scandals created by imbecilic fools such as Onyekachi Ubani. Where was this demented jackass when a state government deported Nigerians from one state of the federation to another? As the so-called chairperson of NBA, it is imperative the nitwit uses the influence of NBA to preserve the liberty of citizens who ordinarily could not sustain any form of abuse from certain quarters.

I have thought a person claimed to be an attorney would have sort to under budgetary issues as well as the meaning of word-corruption. It appears dumbass Onyekachi Ubani failed on both counts.

In case of a budget that is not itemized and there was a provision for N4.5b for maintenance, there is room for modification. In budgetary parlance, maintenance is repair, replace and add. Where did this quirk of a lawyer get the hint that Stella Oduah actions in purchase of two BMW care were corruptive in manners? Again, this loafer named Onyekachi Ubani does not know the denotation of the word-corruption. There was no iota of corruption on the part of Stella Oduah within the known process of NCAA's procurement of the BMW cars. Did NCAA procure the BMW cars for Stella Oduah’s privete and personal usage or official usage of ministry of aviation?

kingoflag: When was the last time anyone in your lineage ever got in the back of a BMW 760Li that youre defending this crook so much just because of N500/day? Look at your life: For $2.75/day youre willing to sell the future of your great grand children. Lmao Poverty is indeed a disease.

Kingofag

Are you not the same dirty malnourished monkey that publicly displayed its lack of knowledge about the trims of BMW 760Li?

zakson4real: Former Petroleum Minister, Prof. Tam David-
West, says the only reason Governor Rotimi
Amaechi of Rivers State is being harrassed by
some political forces is his refusal to be
anybody’s ‘Yes man’.
Prof. David-West, speaking on a radio
programme in Port Harcourt, also asked
President Goodluck Jonathan to be wary of
the Ijaw leader, Chief Edwin Clark and leader
of the Niger Delta People’s Volunteer Force
(NDPVF), Alhaji Mujaheed Dokubo-Asari. He
said neither of them had the powers to make
him win the 2015 election.
David-West showered encomiums on General
Muhammadu Buhari, who he said stood tall
when compared to President Jonathan in
terms of achievement as Nigeria’s leader.
According to the former minister, Amaechi
has had to fight alleged injustice of ceding oil
wells belonging to Rivers State in the Kalabari
axis to President Jonathan’s Bayelsa State.
This, he said has not gone down well with
some people.
He added: “I am not a politician. No amount
of money in the world can make me to
change my mind. I support causes, not
persons. What has Amaechi done wrong? He
has not done anything wrong. Professional
praise singers are making millions of naira
through the crisis.
“Those who said Amaechi has received N2.4
trillion since he became Rivers governor,
without commensurate projects on the
ground, are talking rubbish. The Kalabari
people fighting Amaechi are not serious.
They are not more Kalabari than me. Amaechi
has not disappointed Kalabari people.”
Pressed to assess President Jonathan’s
achievements, he said: “I am an unapologetic
critic of President Jonathan. I do not support
you because you are an Ijaw person, from
the South South zone or a Niger Deltan. I
support performers. Twenty four per cent of
Jonathan’s votes came from the South South.
“It is completely illogical to say Jonathan must
be re-elected in 2015, because he is a South
South man. Jonathan is not a South South
President, but the President of Nigeria.
“Clark, Dokubo-Asari and others cannot save
Jonathan in 2015. In an interview in a
national newspaper on June 15, 2012,
Dokubo-Asari declared that Jonathan would
not go beyond 2015 as President. Why is he
speaking from both sides of his mouth?
“You cannot compare one hundred
Jonathans to one Buhari. I will always give
my support to Buhari. He is the finest man I
have ever known. Negative things that they
say about him are not factual. I will continue
to work for Buhari.
“Corruption is the bane of Nigeria. Buhari is
against corruption. Buhari is not corrupt. He
is very clean and disciplined. Election rigging
is worse than armed robbery. Buhari wants
free, fair and credible elections in Nigeria.”

Jonathan was not the young Lt Buhari who killed fellow officers in Lagos during the eve of July 29, 1966 coup because they were either Igbo or easterners. No wonder your professorship is a total waste in the world of academia. You are a bad road, Tam Doofus-West.

KenGali: Boy go outside and play, stop making yourself a nuisance.
PS4 will soon be released go find it, and stay engaged.

Please do not waste your time on the drooling dunce known as kingofag who is very ignorance of the fact that BMW 760Li has more than one trim. He/she is among road trodden walking-dead that never owned a wheel in their miserable lives yet talk about the price of a car.

Alfa Seltzer: you are the tard.

is it called federal republic of america or united states?

Do you have united states of nigeria or federating states?

free education illiterate.

Bros the display of ignorance and knack to imitate wrongly by certain airheads that pass as Nigerians are very alarming. Sometimes, I am ashamed to share nationality with these diabetic fools.
